What happens when there's not enough cycle parking: people park several spaces abreast, and bikes fall over. In this case, this is done to excess. And so bikes end up in the path of passing vehicles, with wheels being flattened.
The scene greeting visitors to Cambridge on their way from the railway station. An acute lack of secure cycle parking leads to bikes parked insecurely to the wooden railing, with the result of this vandalism.
These parasol type hanging 'designer' cycle parking, known as 'meathooks', were so unpopular they were replaced after only a few months.
Opportunistic cyclists use the skip as a temporary place to park while visiting the pub opposite.
Inadequate cycle parking at Tesco, Newmarket Road. Note: There is a fundamental problem with the design of these particular 'toastracks'. The rails on the toast-rack are spaced such that one of the bike wheels has to 'sit' on the top of ... [more]
This is an area of high levels of cycle theft. Yet not a single cycle parking stand is available, despite literally hundreds of insecure bikes being left against walls. Car parking on the opposite site of the road should be selectively remo ... [more]
Nowhere to park bikes here (officially), but such an obvious need, and there\'s plenty of space.
Hopeless wheelbender cycle parking! The front wheel was locked to the rack, but the rest of the bike has gone. Often a front wheel of another bike will have been purloined to make up a whole bike.
Good question: who is blocking the pavement here? Is it the cars, for whom part of the pavement has been officially allocated as parking, or the bike where there is no officially created secure cycle parking in this street.
New Cambridge Centre for Sixth-Form Studies building - a few nice stands, but that really won't be enough!
Count of cycles at Cambridge station done on 30th June 2010. Click on the figures to see the full-size version.
The "No Cycles Please" written with a black felt marker pen is a depressing development on the bleak secure cycle parking landscape of Thoday Street. Later on that day I saw a bike parked to the same post. The request not to have bikes par ... [more]
When they decided not to install cycle parking at the new entrance to the Botanic Gardens they must have known people would clutter the area outside rather than park at the former entrance.
Cycles propped against the wall of Pembroke College. This isn't secure, and the pavement is narrower than the idea.
Cycle parking here narrows the cycle path in a busy area. More cycle racks needed on Parker's Piece.
Someone has chained a barrier to these racks, making them hard to use with a full-size bike.
The Cycle Parking for Reach Fair. We were allocated a field. It had a long wire fence alongside which at least provided something to lean the bikes against, if not very secure. I think we have more work to do to improved the cycle parkin ... [more]
The court' in front of Tesco Express, Kings Hedges has been resurfaced—and cycle parking is evidently not a high priority on the project. Five fin-style stands have been removed and not replaced.
There's a constant need for secure parking here - some ring-bolts or a rail on the wall would be a good start, if road space can't be provided for Sheffield stands.
These cycle racks are almost always full; often people park extra bikes on the edges - more than two per stand. Also the top horizontal bar here is too high, which leads to many bikes being locked to one of the uprights and then falling ... [more]
More cycle parking is needed (mainly for staff, presumably) at the Doubletree Hotel even without its proposed expansion.

The point of cycle hoops is that they go on existing poles - if they're going to install poles specially, they might as well install proper Sheffield stands !
Good intentions, but stands at 45 degree to the wall would have given far more capacity (almost no-one uses the space between the stand and the wall).
All because the city loves Jamie's Italian... the cycle parking that was here has been replaced with a threat: "No Cycles within 3 metres of this point from Monday 8th February until some indeterminate point in the future. All cycles le ... [more]
Please could we have some cycle stands on Merton Street? One car space could easily be spared.
Strange that no-one uses the wheel-bender slots - time for Queens' College to install Sheffield stands?
A great shame that the cycling parking that used to be on the patch of asphalt to the right has not been replaced - there's clearly a need.
Visitors Cycle Parking at Cambridge County Council. Not enough spaces, and not enough space between the stands to get a bike on either side.
Cycle provision on the cheap - there's no parking at the new entrance to the Botanic Garden, so cyclists are using the railings.
Cycle provision on the cheap - although the Botanic Garden's new gate is open, no cycle parking has been provided there, so we're expected to park at the former entrance.
This bicycle, which I'm sure I've seen here many times before, has been forced to park itself not to a stand owing to the fact that the set of stands to the right is brimming with cycles.
Pathetic excuse for cycle stands outside The Mitre. I think that's 5 bikes to 1 stand here; the county average is 2:1 for Sheffields and that's how I'd like it to remain, though 1:1 would be very nice indeed.
Some months on from #19089, still no change at Kettle's Yard (gallery, house and whathaveyou).
I sense a distinct lack of cycle parking outside Corpus Christi College, Trumpington Street. Bikes are having to use this funky raised platform-thing as well as the pavement.
